Anyone else??

We put our lo down awake. She has a consistent bedtime routine and goes to sleep without a fuss. However, she still regularly wakes in the night and needs to be helped back to sleep. It was getting pretty good, only 1-2 times per night, so I thought we were getting close to sttn, but in the last 4 nights it has been a nightmare, up and down all night long. Does anyone else have this problem? The book I read on sleep said that if lo goes down awake, that this should lead to sttn - it's been three months - I'm having doubts!! What should I do, just keep riding the merry-go-round of up and down all night or let her cry, I just don't know!! Anyone have any ideas that worked for them??

Is lo still eating at wakings? My lo still needs to be fed atleast once a night! Also new skills, teeth, tummy problems all lead to more waking... My has been waking a crazy amount the last week which has been from a number of things. Oh, and overtired babies will wake more at night so if bedtime is too late or naps aren't enough that will cause night waking problems... My first was waking like 4x a night around this age and when we finally got her taking good naps she went down to once a night to eat!
